MakeMake

MakeMake is a simple script for the soul purpose of creating a Makefile for my projects

Format

MakeMake configuration file is written in JSON

The following sections are supported at this time and are the only sections that will be parsed

1. globals: Its purpose it to define variables that you might use in the config file, you can access them by following this syntax: $(<global-name>). Note global variables can also be defined in other sections and they will follow this syntax: $(<section-name>.<name>).
2. settings: Its purpose is to define certain settings that MakeMake uses
   1. src-c-dir The directory to your C source files
   2. src-cpp-dir The directory to your C++ soruce files
   3. out-type The type of the output (currently only executable is supported)
   4. libraries-dir this section is required only when the dependencies section is specified
3. executable A section that is required only when the out-type is executable
   1. name the name of the executable
4. archive A section that is required only when the out-type is archive
   1. name the name of the archive
5. cxx Its purpose is to define compiler related arguments
   1. standard The C++ standard
   2. compiler The compiler
   3. build-dir The directory where the object files will be stored
   4. flags A array with the flags that the compiler will use
6. include-dirs A list of the include directories for your project
7. library-dirs A list of the directories for the libraries
8. libraries The libraries that the executable will be linked against
9. source-files A list for your source files
10. directories-to-create A list of directories that make will need to create for this program to function properly. It is suggested to add at least the build-dir directory.
11. dependencies this section specifies a list of dependencies that will be built with the archive out-type. To use this functionality it is required to set the settings.out-type to archive in the local config file and specify settings.libraries-dir in your main config file.
    1. dependencies section is an object that holds the path to the configuration file with an optional parameter globals that specifies global variables that you want the local config file to use warning these globals needs to have unique names otherwise the globals section in your local configuration file will override them
